“Maisie did a great job watching our dogs while we were away! They were happy and well cared for when we got home. She was reliable and everything went smoothly. We really appreciated her help and would trust her with our dogs again!”
“Alicia instantly bonded with our dog, took good care of her throughout the day and checked in regularly with updates. I am sure our dog will be very happy, when she gets a chance to see her again.”
“Yi-Hao was the absolute dreamiest person to look after griff whilst I was in Cambridge for a gig. Griffy was so happy to hang. Went above and beyond and left our Airbnb in better state than we left it. Would highly recommend !!!”
“Tahiana was absolutely wonderful looking after our dog, Socks, while we were in Cambridge for the weekend. From the moment we met her, it was clear how caring and lovely she is. She kept us updated throughout with regular messages and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind and allowed us to relax knowing Socks was in such good hands. She really took the time to get to know Socks and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was obvious from all the updates that he was having a fantastic time—and when we got back, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly had formed a lovely bond with her. We wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and attentive dog sitter. Thank you so much again, for taking such amazing care of Socks!”
“Our Puppy Dexter had a lovely time with Ellen today. She is a very friendly and thoughtful person. We hope to use her services in the near future. We came home after getting married and Dexter was so calm, resting in his bed. Thank you so much! We highly recommend Ellens services. 🙏”
“Charlotte was a great dog sitter for Jessica. Excellent communication before our meeting and lots of updates during her stay. She is kind and professional. Would definitely book again. Thank you (:”
About: I’m a PhD student at the Uni, proudly owned by a 6-year-old cat. I’d love to offer cat-sitting help in a thoughtful, gentle, and endlessly patient way. I truly believe good communication between cat owners and sitters is essential—because our fluffy family members deserve nothing less than royal-level service. Let’s team up to keep your little furball happy!
“Sophia was house sitting for me and took care of my dog and three cats. They had great time and the pets were well looked for despite the challenge of managing all four of them at the same time. Communication with Sophia is effortless and I received frequent updates from her.”
“Lynn was beyond amazing! She was super sweet with our doggie, Olivia. Sent regular photos/videos, and even did laundry and cleaned the house thoroughly before I got back. You couldn't ask for a better sitter :)”
“Kayleigh looked after Geno very well while I was away for a weekend. He immediately felt at ease with her and was clearly well-brushed and well looked after. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.”
“Lucia is a warm, friendly, and highly professional dog sitter. From the moment she walked through the door, our dog took an instant liking to her, which immediately put us at ease. She clearly has a deep understanding of dogs and was thorough in asking all the right questions about our pet’s routine, preferences, and any house rules to follow. We felt completely confident leaving our pup in her care, and it’s clear she looked after her with genuine attention and love. Thank you, Lucia, for taking such great care of our dog, we wouldn’t hesitate to book you again!”
“Rita is a fabulous pet sitter, I’m so glad to have found her on here. She has a natural knack and love for animals which absolutely shows, and as a pet sitter she is friendly, responsible, and a fantastic communicator. Rita provided overnight stays for us & having our cat and our house in her capable hands really took so much stress out of our time away. She sent us many lovely photos of our happy boy with lots of little updates while we were away and also helped us out with many little extras around our home above and beyond simple cat feeding. She really exceeded our expectations in so many ways, and is just such a pleasurable person overall to communicate with. Our house was absolutely immaculate when we returned home and our cat was happy, calm, and had clearly been very comfortable in Rita’s company. Now that we’ve found Rita, we suddenly feel free to think more about nights away and have already made plans to book her again soon. I wholeheartedly recommend Rita for pet and house sitting needs & look forward to more future bookings with her ourselves.”
“Berkant was absolutely phenomenal taking care of J while we were out of town. Before the booking, he came by to introduce himself and took J on a walk, then returned the day before to go over J’s routine and take him on a longer walk. During the stay, he visited four times a day and walked J for 30 minutes to an hour each time. He sent photos, videos, and updates after every visit, which gave us complete peace of mind. I cannot recommend Berkant enough and will definitely be booking with him again.”
About: I have looked after and walked many dogs, including puppies, bigger dogs, small dogs and medium dogs. I have looked after a wide range of breads from chihuahua and sausage dog to jack russels and doodles. I have taken many dogs on walks, and enjoy long walks as I know great spots in Cambridge and can take them to nature reserves if I have access to the car. I trained my chihuahua when she was a puppy alongside looking after a poodle puppy and helping train her. I am back from Uni for summer- I am very flexible and free whenever! I can take last minute bookings very easily, just pop me a message. For my dog, I feed her, bathe her, clean her, take her on long walks and will sometimes sit out in the sun with her, take her for regular toilet breaks in the day as I look after her whilst others in the house are away.
About: I am a caring and responsible animal lover with experience looking after dogs and cats of different ages and personalities. I regularly care for my neighbour’s dog and have experience with dog sitting and dog walking, ensuring pets receive plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship while their owners are away. As a cat owner myself, I understand the importance of providing attentive and reliable care. I currently have two cats and am experienced in meeting their daily needs, including feeding, play, and maintaining a comfortable routine. In addition, I previously worked as a call operator for veterinary clinics, which gave me valuable knowledge of animal health, wellbeing, and common pet care concerns. I understand the importance of recognising when an animal may need extra attention and following owners’ instructions carefully. I am dependable, patient, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while in my care. Whether it’s a walk, a home visit, or overnight care, I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I’m not currently working so I have a lot of free time and can easily fit pet care into my routines. I can pet sit from all hours. I don’t normally pet sit in my house as I have 2 cats but I can pet sit at the owners home. I can take your dog on long walks at any time.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Cambridge is £35

We had Ellen come watch our dog while we were away on a short trip. She stopped by several times a day and made sure Arwen got walked, had food and water. And always left her with a treat toy. Ellen was great about sending pictures and updates, and left the house clean before we came back. We would definitely book Ellen again for short stays.
Lucia, set with my dog and two cats and I loved that she shared updates frequently, was clear and open in her communication, asked if anything was not clear from my side. She took great care of my pets and my house that was left in great condition. Thanks a lot, Lucia

She kept us updated throughout with regular messages and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind and allowed us to relax knowing Socks was in such good hands.

We wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and attentive dog sitter. Thank you so much again, for taking such amazing care of Socks!
Nick took care of my two dogs, whilst I was away, competently and responsibly. He accommodated the extra care required for my Epileptic dog and both dogs were settled and happy without me !. I am grateful for the care and consideration Nick took and would definitely recommend him.
Kleo provided exceptional care for our dog Jellybean. It was our first time leaving JB with a sitter since rescuing her just a few months ago so, naturally, I was a little nervous. But Kleo came to meet JB twice before we left for our trip, which really helped. She was super communicative the whole time (1 week), sending us photo and video updates and checking in with any questions about JB’s routine. Kleo also took great care of our house. We would 100% leave JB with Kleo again, and would highly recommend her for pet and house sitting!
Rocio was amazing with our two dogs. She spent quite a bit of time with them beforehand in a meet and greet so that they were comfortable with her in the house, and quickly built a positive bond with them. Rocio was extremely professional and attentive, and I would definitely recommend her if you are looking for someone to take care of your doggos!
Simply can’t recommend Emma enough! She was absolutely incredible with my nervous pup, who warmed up to her really quickly. We met for a few play dates prior to the house sitting, and it was clear Emma knew how to be around and support anxious dogs. I could tell my dog felt safe and relaxed with her ❤️ She also sent me regular photos of him while I was away and kept me updated on how the little chap was doing. She was incredibly respectful of our home, as well! So grateful we found her!
Sophia is amazing! She watched my two dogs at my home for a week. My dogs are always a bit anxious when I go, but it was clear how comfortable and happy they were with her right away. There were lots of check-ins with photos and walks, and Sophia was very helpful when I had scheduling challenges. I would 100% recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Cambridge
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cambridge on Rover is £40.25 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Cambridge walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Cambridge choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
